Last post by Marcio D. - July 18, 2024, 12:46:58 AMToronto PET Users Group (TPUG) normally doesn't meet up in July, but we've made an exception this year as we couldn't pass up the opportunity to chat with Bill Winters, a.k.a. AmigaBill - the world's greatest ambassador for everything Amiga. We're trying something new this month, hosting the meeting through Google Meet instead of Zoom. Join us for a fun summer evening over the Internet, where you can watch, listen, and interact with AmigaBill.
Mark your calendars:
The meeting takes place on Thursday, July 18, 2024 at 7:00PM ET. (Toronto)
Join the event here:

The Google Meet link is also available at the TPUG website:
https://www.tpug.ca
A video recording will be uploaded to YouTube afterwards, so please subscribe to the TPUG channel to stay informed:
https://www.youtube.com/@TorontoPETUsersGroup
Among Bill's community contributions:
- Founded the Westchester Amiga User Group (WAUG) in 1988, still going strong today 36 years later.
- Co-founded the Guru Meditation YouTube channel.
- Streaming the ultimate online Amiga party on Twitch every Sunday throughout the year... "Sunday Funday!"
Thanks for attending !
